STRONG FOX

In the late 1700s a little red fox and the inhabitants of a small Muscogee Creek village share a pleasant mountain valley along the Flint River in west central Georgia. The story of Strong Fox is reminiscent of oral tradition stories told to Creek Indian children long ago. Such stories served to entertain while also teaching valuable lessons learned by observing and respecting the ways of animals. Fox has learned to survive by using his wits, and while hiding just outside the village awaiting opportunities to steal an easy meal, he has also learned something from observing people. Fox’s surprising knowledge enables him to have a profound effect on one young boy and through him the entire village. As in the tradition of our ancestors, Strong Fox serves to entertain while inspiring children to face difficulties in their lives by focusing on their strengths, rather than their weaknesses.

Throughout my 86 years, I've been a seeker, an outsider, never quite belonging anywhere, always looking through cracks in the fences of life, questioning, challenging, learning, trying to make sense of the world and its conventions. I enjoy learning history through the experiences of our ancestors. I love the power of words in good writing and find joy and purpose in helping others give voice to their amazing stories. This is the magic elixir that keeps me alive and growing. EPD, Sings Many Songs
